Hotel Papa Whale - Taipei, Taiwan

-

Hotel Papa Whale is located in Ximending area just 6 minutes walk (650m) from Ximending Night Market. We stayed in a double room comes with a double bed, working desk, wall mounted TV with at least 200 channels, complimentary WiFi but speed is slow, disposable slippers, in-room safe, hair dryer, mini fridge, 2 complimentary bottles of drinking water, coffee or tea making facilities, self controlled hot & cold air conditioning and complete toiletries.

Room is small, clean and stylish with a unique creative design. Key card is required for access to guest room floor. However, finding our room is like going through a maze. Apart from that, our room has no windows. Bed is comfy but they only provide two pillows. There's no lock for both the shower and toilet door. Water pressure is good and water is hot enough. They have this telephone shaped shower head but water is spraying everywhere.

Initially, we plan to stay 3 nights in this hotel. However, on our first night we couldn't get a proper sleep. We can hear luggage rolling and guests talking in the wee hours of the morning. The walls are so paper thin that we can hear showers and "X-rated sound". Luckily the drama ended around 2am and finally we can get some sleep...

Check in time: 3pm
Check out time: 11am

Room rate - RM 356.71 per night excluding breakfast

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

Image
We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
